Level 1 Certification: FundamentalsThe Level 1 Certification is an Introductory course on CrossFit's methods, concepts, and movements. On completing a Level 1 CrossFit certification, attendees will have the resources and a sufficient foundation from where they can continue independent and successful development as a CrossFit trainer or athlete. Level 1 Certifications may be repeated as needed or desired at a reduced cost for each seminar. There is no prerequisite for the Level 1 Certification. -CrossFitHappy TravelsCoaches Margie and David are off to California for 10 days. We're going to visit some friends on the Left Coast and have some fun in the warm weather. Shane and Jacinto will be leading classes while we're gone. Happy training, everyone!

If 10 Strict Dips are easy for you, start to add weight via dumbbells or a weighted belt.

Jenna diligently tracks her numbersIn an effort to make classes run a little smoother and finish on time, we're going to formally partition sessions into three basic sections:Warm-up/Soft Tissue10-12 minutesMax Effort 25-30 minutesMetabolic Conditioning/Accessory work 15-20 minutes

In essence, it will be very similar to the way classes have been running with the exception that everyone will have a better understanding of how long they have to complete a particular section. Athletes are still encouraged to either come early or stay late as they please. Take advantage of open gym hours for additional soft tissue work, skill development or just to socialize!
